Beetle

April 21st, 2008 at 23:57 · Filed Under At Home, Dmitry, Insects, Photography 

This afternoon, when I was ready to go to customer’s place, Dmitry spotted a beetle on the ground at the car porch area. It was actually under the car and thank God I did not crush it. We became excited as it was not dead. I swiftly picked it up and put it on a brush and told Dmitry to hold it. And I dashed into the house to get my camera. Here are some photos I took. I put the beetle into a plant pot so that it would not dehydrate. I didn’t check if it was still alive. I hoped it would be still alive. I don’t know its name but I will find out later.

    Check this site out with the boys - maybe you can ID your beetle - I think the web site has a picture of a beetle similar to the one you show here:

    Could it be a rhinocerous beetle - the head looks like a rhinocerous. Check this web site out with the boys - maybe they will learn more about life science this way too:
